    Shouldn't today's batteries last longer than batteries from the 90's?

    Somewhat, but the biggest problem was that the backlight just sucked that much power.

    Replacing the backlight with something modern adds literal hours to the life of the batteries.

    Believe it or not, sometimes backlights are the biggest power hoggers up to this day. My SE Xperia SK17i on max brightness absolutely proves this.
     
  5. Big congrats to the Social Media team on hitting 3 Million, it only seems a short while ago that we saw the 2 million followers post with the fancy animation.

    I know its a bit random but with Mania's release only a few days away, I am kind of hoping we get to see a branded hashtag for it. Over the last few weeks every time there has been a reveal it's shown up in my Moments on twitter so there seems to be a fair bit of social media buzz for the game (although admittedly I am not sure if this is just tailored to me or most people see this too). Just think it would be cool to see the hashtag with a little Sonic on the end to celebrate the release of Mania and all the promotion the Social Media guys have done.

    If you've seen the Sonic Mania opening animation, then you might enjoy this edit of it. Definitely got a laugh out of me, especially amidst all the PC delay blues. :)

    If you haven't seen the opening animation but are only avoiding it to not see unannounced zones, there aren't any shown in the (seven-second) clip used.

    All this served to remind me is that AA batteries are going obsolete lmao.

    That said TV remotes still gotta use those if I recall (tripple As anyway), so I guess Duracell's just more upset they're not mandatory anymore. Gotta wonder why they chose a game gear instead of a gameboy or another more popular toy.

    Unless its precisely because the game gear requires 6 batteries :^)

    I still use lots of AA batteries... Wiimotes, my Game Boy Colour etc. But I mostly use rechargable ones now.

    Because it's the Sonic twitter and they poke fun at themselves and Sega all the time :v: Also I think it was more popular than the 32X but I think it still sold poorly. Must have sold well enough for them to consider the 32X a good idea though.

    Anyway, I actually still own one. Now that Sonic CD has the Taxman port it doesn't do a whole lot these days, but it's neat to have, even if it is just an ornament.

    The VAs of Sonic, Shadow, and Eggman answered questions from Twitter today. I'm surprised no one bothered to mention this here. Most of their replies are pretty entertaining imo. This one is my favorite:
